Support for slum children

The Situation:More than one-third of the Hyderabad’s population lives in slums1179 slums have been identified by by GHMC officially.Slums continue to grow at a rate of 6.06% per annum.Primary sources of livelihood includes housekeeping, autorickshaws, blue collared work and street vending.

The Children:Congested habitations and living conditions make academic excellence a challenge.Education is discontinued at a young age for most children due to financial constraints and safety concernsThese kids are involved in household chores, child labor, child marriages

What we do:Holistic development of lesser-privileged children.Courses are offered in: Academics, Self-defense, Vocational Training and Personality DevelopmentSpecial focus is laid on: Health and hygiene, Nutrition awareness, career counseling and extra curriculum activities.

The Process:TKF volunteers visit recognized slum areas, and identify student groups from Govt. schools.Mentors are identified from the same slum, and employed.A “Kalam Centre” is established in a local hall or study space.Mentors provide after-school support to the students for 2 hours per day.Each centre consists of around 25 kids.Attendance is recorded everyday.
